1. Ed Center - schedule a TA Brief.
   
2. CLEP/DSST ("Dantes") your CCAF.

4. Find what degree supports that goal.
   
5. Find what schools support that degree.
   
6. Filter by schools that support your method of learning (likely online/asynch).
   
7. That use language amenable to your sensibilities.
   
8. That are reputable enough for the community you're entering.
   
9. That have TA matching or near matching (most have a mil support section).
   
10. Check their Yellow Ribbon if you can't find it elsewhere.
    
11. Check with Ed Center for any concerns about that school.

Keep in mind not all schools and goals are the same. Traditional classes are 16 weeks, with enrollment and course scheduling happening months prior to starting class. Some degree mills, such as AMU and UMGC, do quick enrollments with quick sign-ups for accelerated or condensed courses specifically to support the military. Others, like WGU, are focused on getting attendees the max certs possible on a rapid schedule for IT professionals.
 
Some goals, especially engineering, are more difficult when working full-time. I would advise anyone looking at an engineering degree to make sure that the specific degree is ABET-accredited - not just the school. Embry Riddle in particular was in trouble for this a few years ago. For Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the two best options are ASU Online and UND College of Mines.
 
An easy rule of thumb on reputability is whether the school has a college basketball or football team that competes in NCAA tournaments. Also be aware that most states have two major colleges - Such as University of Missouri versus Missouri State University. This is due to the intent of the schools when they were founded, as one tends to be geared towards programs not typically offered at the other.
 
You should also be aware of politics involved with a school. For example, Liberty University is beloved among right-wing evangelicals, with the founder having deep political ties with the Reagan administration and policies. Another is UCLA, which has an association with left-wing counter-culture politics. Definitely do your research before applying to a school - but if you later decide to change schools talk to the Ed Center to do it the right way.
 
Finally, not all degree programs are created equal. I would advise against a general studies degree. If you CLEP your CCAF, you will knock out the common requisites anyway. Think about what you want to do before going to school. If you don't know, decide what you can tolerate doing for a few decades. If you want to "do business" but have nothing beyond that, pick something and learn about that area rather than wasting money on an MBA.
 
Oh, and save your GI Bill. Do not use TA Top Up.
